And about #11, of course more puns!
"Sounds like" the can kicked the bucket or
"Sounds like" the can died
Ergo = Candide by Voltaire!

Weed? No. Long, boring book length poem by a WW

WW?? William wordsworth??
opium?

Or is number 3 perhaps The Divine Comedy by Dante?

~just realized the "heck" pun~

I see I shall have to drop hints after all. OK.

#1 What a pot addict smokes-- well, they smoke marijuana, of course, commonly called "weed" or another name used in its heyday which was "_____"
The usuall part of the plant smoked is the "_____" Put the two together and you get a book length poem by a certain poet whose initals are W. W.

#3 Getting the heck out of Paradise. If you are "getting the heck" out of somewhere, say for an evacuation you are in "_____" from the place. Eden is correct. Now fill in the blank.

You guys went through my last list like Sherman went through Georgia! I'm going to have to start requiring the author's name as well, or something!(smilie by hamster)http://www.smileyville.net/hamster/dev.gif

DOUBLE HEADER FOR SCHER! I knew you could do it! Dancin' Dudes (Smiles by Tranzine)

#1 What a pot addict smokes
They smoke pot = "Grass" (Old hippie talk)
They smoke the "Leaves" of the plant dried ( although seeds and flower buds as well)

Ergo: Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman, surely one of the world's most tedious tomes!

#3 Getting the heck out of Paradise
You get the heck out you "flee"
Paradise = "Eden"

Ergo = Flight from Eden by Kathryn A. Graham[/FONT][/COLOR]

Right. Now let's see.

HAT TRICK! #1, #3, & #6, (although you can share #6 with Nightshade)

#2(HAR! She might, but it's not a book!)

#12--Well, OK. Actually, it's Portrait of the Artist As a Young Man by James Joyce. I think you had the book, you just weren't sure how the title ran.

Nanners for the Archer! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

DOUBLE BULLSEYE!

#3 & #11 , but share #3 with The Archer. You had the book right, just unsure of how the title ran. Good enough!

#5 & #8 are wrong.

Nanners for Nightshade, Lady of the Smiles!
:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Ooh, I've got another joke one for number 2...

"To/two arms!! To/two arms!!" ~rim shot~ ~chirp...chirp...chirp~


8. Hmm...well, it had the Cliffs of Insanity, so I suppose it couldn't hurt to guess The Princess Bride by William Goldman.

5 is Lord of the Flies

#8 is still wrong.

As for #2, actually Archer, it is a joke, but using a book tiltle for the punchline! (smilie by trinzine)http://www.smileyville.net/mellow/mf_type.gif

Go Papayahed! HAT TRICK! Three Bullseyes!

Let's take them in order:

#4 You can smoke, chew, and dip Tobbacco in the lane so it's Tobbacco Road by Erskine Caldwell

#9 The streaker and the corpse? Come on! The Naked and The Dead by Norman Mailer

Nanners for Papayahed: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

So my own game thrown back at me. Um, let's see here. Hummm.

#1 Eaters of the Dead
#2 The Lost World (I have Doyle's book there!)
#3 Sphere (That is the mathmatical formula, isn't it?)
#5 Disclosure?
#6 The Andromeda Strain
#8 Rising Sun
#9 Prey
#10 Airframe
#11 The Terminal Man
#12 Timeline?
#13 Twister?

I don't think I got them all, many I've only seen the movie. I read Michael Crichton at times, so I keep a list of his books to make certain I don't read the same one twice. But you're tricky, Archer! Very tricky!http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/sp...nikshooter.gif

I'm gonna say #7 is The Great Train Robbery. Only because that's the only other Chricton book I can think off. or Congo.

Whoa. Ten out of 11 for Pen, and one for papayahed!

:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Communal nanners!!

So, what's left? ANSWER: Not much.

#4 Westworld--I have the video right on my shelf even! (West--Indians--signlanguage)

#13 State of Fear (Solid, liguid, gas, plasma are states of matter, terror is fear)

I think I got it!! :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: http://www.smileyville.net/aiwan/yahoo.gif

Oh, well......... :brow:

Yes to number 13, no to number 4 (sorry). Still...

Since this one WAS hard, I pulled every trick I could think of, and you still got all but four: It's hint time!

#7 Think "Dueling Banjos" The movie of the book starred Burt Renyolds

#8 The book is by H. P. Lovecraft

#10. You have a noise and an emotion or _______ & _________

#13 Jimmy was a famous odds maker whose nationality was well known. The lady in question is of the same nationality.

Maybe this will help.

Oh, and Robin if Papayahed is wrong, my guess is ELECTRONIC LIFE

7. Deliverance
10. The Sound and the Fury

And nope, sorry to both papayahed and Pendragon. Think of a movie that resembles the clue.
